SOUTH SIMCOE - Military personnel and the general public filled the stands at Canadian Forces Base Borden for its Remembrance Day ceremony Nov. 11.

The local Canadian Forces ceremony is one of the largest in the area, although South Simcoe Royal Canadian Legion branches each hold their own services.

It was a special Remembrance Day for Alliston, where the entire service was held at the new cenotaph at the corner of Paris and Albert streets for the first time. A large crowd turned out to honour the veterans, as well as the milestone for the local cenotaph project. There were also ceremonies in Beeton, Tottenham, Everett, Lisle, Angus, and more.
